How Do I Know If I Have A Problem With My Drinking?

Many of us dread the doctor inquiring about our alcohol intake. “How much do you drink?” they’ll ask. At which point we’ll take a well-considered pause, make a “meh” face and say, “Hmm, not that much. Maybe a couple of glasses of wine a week?” And sure, for many of us, that’s true (although for some reason we still feel like we’re lying) but for others, maybe it’s a little more than that.&nbsp;And sure, for many of us, that’s true (although for some reason we still feel like we’re lying) but for others, maybe it’s a little more than that. Maybe it’s even a lot more than that.

Haven’t these people heard of carb-loading before a marathon? There’ s a reason people have been doing it for decades. We guess keto drinks , and keto diets most likely, are just another nutrition myth waiting to be busted.

Regardless, it seems it’s not for everyone. And for pasta-loving, potato-munching consumers, the keto diet seems another unattainable 'health goal' they’ll never reach.

According to one company, however, you don’t need to diet to go into ketosis at all. The San Francisco-based startup HVMN (pronounced 'human') recently released a wellness shot called HVMN Ketone, claiming that it does all the work of keto dieting for you, including inducing ketosis and boosting fat loss. The drink is 'proven to improve athletic performance and recovery,' the company’s website claims.

Ketosis is a metabolic state caused by excess ketones in the body, and it often occurs when the body is so carb-deprived that it’s forced to resort to burning fat for energy. The keto diet, popular among weightlifters and macro counters, induces ketosis with an extremely low-carb diet plan that’s high in dietary fat and protein. Keto dieters are instructed to eat as little as 30 grams a day — just shy of two slices of whole-wheat sandwich bread.

The HVMN Ketone shots claim to induce ketosis by flushing your system with ketones. A three-bottle pack of the stuff retails for $99. A dozen costs $369. However, the claims of athletic performance boosts and fat burning are attracting skepticism from the experts.

Lunchtime Meal Deals Can Contain Up To 30 Teaspoons Of Sugar, Campaigners Warn

Lunchtime meal deals might be saving you money, but they’re not always saving your health. That’s according to a new report which found some meal deals contained up to 30 teaspoons of sugar, the equivalent of eating 79 chocolate fingers.One of the worst offending meal deals featured a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich from WHSmith, a Mountain Dew Citrus Blast 500ml drink and a bag of Skittles Crazy Sours. In total, the meal contained four times an adult’s daily maximum intake of sugar, Action on Sugar said.

The supplement apparently tastes like 'a blend of nail-polish remover and alcohol,' according to their tester.

Ben Sit, RDN told Buzzfeed that people want to enter ketosis because they think it’ll burn all their fat stores at once, but that’s not usually the case.

'The body wants to fight against ketosis,' he said. 'Ketosis is a stage of starvation, basically.'

So infusing the body with ketones wouldn’t necessarily induce ketosis. If the body can get its energy from carbs instead, it likely will.

HVMN also promises improved muscle recovery — but the studies were similarly inconclusive. One study supported their claim while another did not.

8 Drinking Patterns That Point Toward Alcoholism

A new study published in the journal Addictive Behaviors outlines eight drinking patterns found in 177 heavy alcohol users that, if left unchecked, could quickly slide into full-blown alcoholism. 1. 3-4 Drinks, 2-3 Times per Week (Weekend)Though the majority of the 19 people in this category had no alcohol-related problems, just over half suffered from a personality disorder of some type. Only one of the subjects said she was willing to change her behavior. Often this pattern of drinking precedes heavier drinking in varying contexts. As most of the group’s drinking took place on the weekend, it may have been largely social.

So should you try a keto diet instead? Dietitians advise that you don’t. Though many have made the switch to keto dieting with dreams of bigger muscles and boosted performance, the results have been pretty wimpy in comparison to these lofty expectations.

Registered dietitian Albert Matheny told Buzzfeed, “If you are trying to do a ketogenic diet with athletic performance in mind, you’re going to see a decrease in your performance.”

Clearly — because you are functioning on much lower accessible stores of energy. Haven’t these people heard of carb-loading before a marathon? There’s a reason people have been doing it for decades.
